Automatic Emergency Alerts When You Can't Send Them Yourself.
A safety check-in app: miss a check-in and your pre-written message reaches the people you chose, with your location and everything they need to act. For living alone, solo travel, night shifts, caregiving, and anywhere nobody would notice quickly.
Also known as a dead man's switch app or a safety timer app.
Configure your dead man's switch protocol.
THEN Automatically notify selected contacts
Simplified preview. The builder in the app adds timing, location, recurrence, encrypted files and per-contact messages.
End-to-end encrypted
Your message, files and credentials are encrypted on your device. We cannot read them.
Tested every single day
An automated battery runs the full alert chain daily, so we find a break before you do.
Your data stays yours
Export everything or delete your account from the app. No tracking, no data sharing.
Built in the open
Every release since June 2025, dated and public, including the security work.
One setup.
Automatic escalation.
You configure the protocol once, then Safety Checkpoint handles confirmation windows, missed check-ins, and contact-side timeline updates.
High-Tension Situation
You lose access to your phone in a tense context. Your pre-written message with key contacts and instructions is still delivered automatically.
Travel Incident
You miss your check-in while backpacking alone. Your pre-written emergency message with location and contact details automatically alerts your family.

Life gets unpredictable. When you miss your regular check-in, your pre-written message automatically reaches your trusted contacts.

Not just a text message: build the exact context your contacts need, encrypted end-to-end, with optional geolocation attached only when useful.
